This classic introduction to the techniques of research and the art of expression is used widely in history courses, but is
also appropriate for writing and research methods courses in other departments. Barzun and Graff thoroughly cover every aspect
of research, from the selection of a topic through the gathering, analysis, writing, revision, and publication of findings
presenting the process not as a set of rules but through actual cases that put the subtleties of research in a useful context.
Part One covers the principles and methods of research Part Two covers writing, speaking, and getting one's work published.
